As soon as the mother-in-law spoke, Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu stopped talking and looked at Su Ruyi expectantly. Did their family get rich this time?

Su Ruyi said: "It's okay, it's worth a few bucks. Order the mutton slices tonight, and I'll stir-fry the mutton for you. Then I'll stew the mutton bone soup for my eldest brother."

From the beginning, she had no intention of telling her family how much money she earned, so as not to cause trouble for herself. She just wanted to make them confused about how much money the family had in their accounts so that she could have room to operate.

This also prevents several people in the family from having their own plans in mind.

Everyone was not stupid. Su Ruyi understood immediately what she meant. She didn't want to tell them, so she tacitly stopped asking.

Mrs. Zhang was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it again, she didn't want everyone to know how much money she had in her family.

Besides, Su Ruyi found the walnuts. What does she sell them have to do with the rest of the family?

People use the money from selling walnuts to support their families, so everyone should have some fun!

What to ask? !

It suddenly became clear to me, I just need to stop talking and enjoy my life.

Picking up the cloth on the table, he asked: "Su Ruyi, what are the arrangements for buying this cloth?"

"Everyone in the family makes a set of clothes. Xing'er is a girl and uses floral cloth to make clothes. If it's not enough, I'll buy more."

I still have plenty of fabric for my own space.

Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu looked at each other and wanted to rub their hands together happily. They haven't worn new clothes in many years!

"Is this material expensive? You don't know how to live, so you just buy expensive ones. Who would be willing to wear clothes made of this material! If you buy coarser materials, your whole family will have enough..."

Mrs. Zhang was twisting the material and felt extremely heartbroken. She had been used to being frugal in her life, and she still felt heartbroken regardless of whether she spent her own money or not.

Su Ruyi smiled and said: "When I buy good materials specially and wear them well, I will know why good things are expensive!"

"I don't know how expensive things are? I am - well, forget it, just do it after you buy it. Anyway, you have the final say now, I just listen to you."

Zhang's heart was starting to get a little bit worse, Su Ruyi, a woman like her, wouldn't listen to anything she said anyway, that's all, she should stop fussing with her and just live her life until she can't live any longer.

It was still early now, the worries were gone, and the atmosphere at home suddenly improved. Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu couldn't wait to sit down and make gestures on the cloth.

The first set is done for my mother-in-law first. She is the oldest in the family, and then for Su Ruyi. She is now the head of the family and must do it first...

Su Ruyi stood aside and listened for a while, then asked, "Sisters-in-law, I'll leave my clothes to you as well. I really don't know how to do this."

The two sisters-in-law giggled: "We will do it, of course we will do it. If you wish, just take care of your home, and we will do the rest!"

Su Ruyi: "I took apart the worn-out clothes and made them into shoes. I think everyone's shoes are no longer what they look like. There's not enough fabric. The quilts and sheets can also be used. I think we will replace them with new ones before the end of this year."

"real?!"

Liu Cuier shouted, while Li Baozhu stood up in excitement, then sat back down embarrassedly.

Mrs. Zhang was also excited and changed to a set of quilts and sheets. They were much more fabric than clothes. The ones in her house were almost ten years old and the patches were so irritating.

"Don't just open your mouth and come here. You've spent too much money this year. You can't spend it all in one go."

Although she was pleasantly surprised, her years of experience as the head of a household made her cautiously remind her.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Ms. Zhang muttered in a low voice: "Every time I talk about you, you always say that you know something, but you don't know whether it's true or false..."

Then he let go and said, "Okay, you two make clothes, and I will make shoes and take out the soles."

"Okay, mother, I'll help you make shoes after I'm done with Baozhu!"

Just do it, and the three of them got busy around the table.

When it got dark, the men who asked for directions during the day came back and ran straight to Su Ruyi. The rest of the Lu family were too frightened to say anything.

There were six people in total, all of them were strong men. Two of them were older and had wise eyes. They might be experts.

"Ms. Su, we are from the Yang Mansion in Tongzhou. We went up the mountain to look for pecans on the orders of our master. We can't go back today. I wonder if Mrs. Su can find a way to accommodate us for the night?

The man who spoke handed over a broken piece of silver as he spoke.

"It would be better if our dinner could be arranged together. We can just eat whatever we want."

After saying that, he handed over another broken piece of silver.

Mrs. Zhang and her two daughters-in-law were dumbfounded. A rich person is a rich person. Just say a piece of silver!

That’s silver!

Su Ruyi accepted it generously and said: "The conditions in our village are limited, I'm afraid you won't be used to living there..."

The leading man said: "We are all rough people. Even if there is no bed board, a flat floor will be enough."

"That's just right. We still have an empty house in our house. If you don't mind, we can clean it up immediately. It can be dealt with for one night."

The money in hand can no longer fly. Liu Mazi's house has always been empty, and now it can finally be put to some use.

Several men are also very particular. When they came during the day, they knew that there was only one man in the Lu family, who was still paralyzed, so he stood waiting outside the courtyard without entering. This also allowed some villagers to see what was happening in the Lu family. Everyone was whispering to each other.

Su Ruyi handed the key to Liu Mazi's house to Liu Cui'er and gave them 50 coins. The family didn't have that much to cover, but other families must have more. After all, every family had to go out to fight. Borrow some money and use it.

Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu went out to clean up, while she and her mother-in-law stayed to cook.

The vegetables were not fried for them, but the vegetables were arranged. Each person was given an egg pancake, and the dry and hard steamed buns from home were brought out, two for each person.

Six grown men stood outside the yard and ate. When they handed back the bowls and chopsticks, the leading man took out another piece of broken silver and gave it to Su Ruyi.

"Your pancakes are very delicious."

At this time, he thought to himself, it would be great if he could eat just one more.

Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu came back sweating profusely after cleaning up the house over there.

Su Ruyi carried half a bucket of water to a few people in case they became thirsty in the middle of the night.

Then he and his two sisters-in-law led him over.

"Ms. Su, we may have to live in the village these days. Can you help us with breakfast and dinner these days? This is one tael of silver. If it is not enough, I will make up for it later."

The leading man took out a small silver ingot.

Su Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay."

He reached out and took the money, and then said, "I wonder if you have seen our village chief?"

If an outsider stays in the village for a long time, of course he must inform the village chief. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be her Lu family's responsibility.

The man nodded: "We'll go right now, and I'd like some of you to lead the way."
